The Death of an Innocent Open Response homework

While reading the story, I noticed several things of Chris's daily life that led me to believe that he was not a regular teenager. His family talked about how on his weekends, he would go and talk to the less fortunate and try to turn their life around. That's when I first noticed that he wasn't the average teen who spent their weekends with their friends hanging out. The second thing was his running style. Leading his team, they would run and run to no place in particular. This showed a free spirited side and someone that went with the flow. I noticed that he didn't really plan some things out and just liked to see where it took him. The last thing that really stuck out to me was the topics of discussion. His family mentioned how he would go on for hours about people's lifestyles and how and individual could starve. I then realized that he was a very eager kid who wanted answers that can be hard to find.
